Col Lamont, w. s. Bissell OF Buffelo,
the Presidents 8 law partner and DIR. Joseph
Bryant of New York who was member OF
his military staff while Governor, are the
only ones who will accompany the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland. There will be no
officials in his party. No stops will be made
except at the points above mentioned, and
in no instance can the time given to cities
where stops are to he made be extended.
The fact that the journey is timed to meet
fixed engagements will prevent any ex-
ceptions to this determination, but through
the day and passing all places of any con-
siderable size the train will be run at q very
slow rate of speed. At the suggestion OF
the president much proposed speech h-making
ut the places to be visited has been
abandoned, and instead an important
feature in the programme at each place will
he carriage rides about the cities over pre-
yiOusly announced routes, which will
crafty his desire to see the towns and their
population and enable the people to see the
president without the discOmfurts and dan
gers attending crowded rooms and plat
forms.

ST. JOHN DENOUNCED.

St. John, the apostate, has met with a
stunning and just rebuke at the hands OF
the Kansas people. His treachery and
treason to the Republican party are now
so we'll authenticated that no one has the
audacity to try and defend him from the
base and ignominious charges broue bit
against bis name Republicans, Demo
Gratis and .Prohibitionists united in the
denunciation of ST. John, showing that
the honorable men in all parties despise
the traitor. The following dispatch gives
the form of the rebuke:
TOPEKA, Kan. Feb. "a. - The bill
changing the name of St. John county to
Logan, passed the House of Representa-
tives this morning by vote of sixty-four
g. nitY-lGur-0ue vute more than the ma
]orIFr. The county was named in hoDoc
of John 2. 81. John, late Prohibition
candidate for President, who at the time
the county was named was Republican
and Governor Of Kansas. Several violent
speeches were made, among the most bit
ter being by Speaker Smith, who declared
that St. John was a hypocrite, that be
jumped the Prohibition hobby to ride in
to Office He said the Republican party
had raised Mr.. St. John from the insig-
ni6cant position of third rate Kansas
lawyer to the Governor of the state and
failing to be elected third time, be
played the part of a traitor He hoped
that the name of man whose Infamous
treachery to bis party had elected Demo
cratic President could be obliterated from
the history of Kansas forever OF the
six y-four who voted for the bill seven
teen were Democrats Four Democrats
voted against the bill. The radical Pro-
hibitionists were about equally divided.
The bill has already passed the senate,
and received the Governors signature
this afternoon.

SPOONER MADE THEM WEEP

The New York Sun says Senator
Spooner, of Wisconsin, made the best eff
fort of the day in the eulogies on Gen.
Logan, aud concludes:
The Wisconsin senator is a terror in
debate, but in funeral speech he is as a
dove. His voice runs wet and salt with
tears, and even our own Evarts had to
apply the handkerchief to his eyes while
Spooner was speaking The Wisconsin
senator now breads the prospect that he
will fall into the place that Senator An
thony had SO long, Of being the best
funeral speaker in the senate. 1t lsa fact
not much known that Spooner, in his
college days, was earnestly besought to
enter the ministry, because his impressive
style of oratory would be sure to make
him pulpit success. His father was one
of the best lawyers in Wisconsin, and the
senator inherited legal mind. To this
he probably owes his place in the senate.

OFFICIAL ROTTENNESS Elk
POSED.

The Legislative investigation of The
Indiana Southern prison, at Jacksonville
has disclosed an amount of rottenness
rascality and inhuman treatment of pri-
soners which has seldom been equale6
The Warden, Howard, is Democrat and
is a brother of the Democratic represent
ative 10 CONGRESS from that District. 1t
has been shown that from the Warden
down to the lowest employee of the prison,
everyone has been engaged in stealing
from the state and levying black-mail
upon the convicts in about every way
that human ingenuity could devise, while
the treatment of the prisoners has beer
brutal and tyrannical in the extreme.
The Democrats in the Legislature are
as indignant as the Republicans at the
revelations which have been made. Coup
ling the exposures 10 the Southern Prison
with those made in the management of
the State Insane Hospital, the conclusion
is inevitable that the Democrats who
have charge of the penal and benevolent
institutions of Indiana have used them
solely az a means of personal gain through
dishonest and corrupt practices. Chico

UGLY RUMoRs AFLoAT. - An industrial
journal published at Minneapolis entitled
Wood and Iron says: Some ugly rumors
are afoat comprising Postmaster-G General
Villas and the Superior Lumber company,
of Ashland, Wis. 1t appears that Mr..
Villas is financially interested in the Su-
perior Lumber company, and has used
his influence to further their interests in
an unlawful manner. Near Ashland the
Chippewa Indians have reservation, a
large part of which is covered with a
heavy growth of pine timber. Soon after
tie present administration came into
power, the then Indian agent was re-
moved, and another appointed in his
place; who Was also interested in the Su-
periorssLumber company. 1t is asserted
that soon after the appointment active
operations were commenced on the reser
walton, and some 100000 feet of logs
were cut which found their way to the
Superior Lumber comrany's mills. 1t is
also asserted that operations for the win
ter are again in full blast. ss.

A Snake Kills Child and then Leaves
the Chfld's Body.

A correspondent writing from Mime
sofa Junction says: The case of Swear
old child of Charles Gilman, of this place
which died recently, has attracted con-
siderable attention from the fact that the
little one expelled a snake from the
stomach previous to its death. The child
mad suffered poor health for long time,
and continually emitting yellowish mat
ter which stained its clothing. One day
the child directed Mrs. Gilman s attention
to small snake on the floor, which had
evidently escaped from its mouth. The
reptile was about foot long, of brown
color, with yellow belly. It's eyes pro-
truded from its head, and when molested
would run out it's tongue After being
relieved of the Shiny occupant of its
stomach, the child stopped dropping, but
subsequently sickened and died. The at
tending physician was of the opinion that
water had collected on the child's stom-
ach after the snakes departure and caused
its death. The bereaved parents recol-
lect having given the child a drink of
spring water in the dark about year
previous.-Sumday Telegraph.
